Close to two-dozen Rye Garden Club members gathered downtown to do their civic best: sprucing up pots, clearing paths, and trimming beds. They left a swath of green in their wake and the pots on Purchase Street and at the Rye Free Reading Room and the Square House Garden are now ready for their fall close-up.
